Just watched "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" over lunch. When asked about how life on Earth originated, Dr. Richard Dawkins says, on camera and in his own words: "It could come about in the following way. It could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the universe, a civilisation evolved -- by probably some kind of Darwinian means -- to a very, very high level of technology, and designed a form of life that was seeded onto, perhaps, this planet. Now that is a possibility, and an intriguing possibility. And I suppose that it's possible that you might find evidence of that -- if you look at the details of our chemistry and molecular biology -- that you might find a kind of signature of some sort of designer." Ben Stein: "Wait a second, Richard Dawkins thought Intelligent Design might be a legitimate pursuit?" My face --> :}

But... how did that designer start? He hasn't answered how life started, he has done exactly what creationists do; push the argument one step back and then refuse to explain the creation of the creator.

However, life could have ALSO been planted on Earth, as I'm sure we'll (hopefully) do someday on some other young planet.

I don't have any problem with anything you can demonstrate in a lab, and evolution has been demonstrated. But it doesn't explain the origination of life. Even if you get the right ingredients in the right place at the right time, they still have to be in the right order -- that takes information. About a gigabyte of information actually. So where did that information come from? The roll of the dice? Statistics are against you heavily here.

Maybe that's why life is "rare" in the solar system?
Also, starting out it would have been simple. Like a total of maybe twenty atoms arranged into a hydrophobic sphere with nothing in the middle. Then it absorbs two atoms that join together and have an end that makes copies of themselves. So on, so forth (ie EVOLUTION). It didn't just BANG life, it started very slowly you ignorant fuck.

>> No.1252449

>>1252429
I think life is rare in the solar system because the right conditions are not there. Life started almost as soon as the right conditions arose on Earth for it, suggesting it will spontaneously and quickly arise in the presence of the right conditions, making it appear simple life is common, but since it took 3.5bil years+ for complexity to evolve, this suggest complex life is relatively very rare.

>>Creationists often claim that the chances of a modern enzyme forming by random means are astronomically small, and therefore the chances of a complete bacterium (which is composed of hundreds or thousands of such enzymes & proteins) is so near to impossible that it would never happen in the 13 billion years or so since the universe took shape.

>>The calculation which supports the creationist argument begins with the probability of a 300-molecule-long protein forming by total random chance. This would be approximately 1 chance in 10390. This number is astoundingly huge. By comparison, the number of all the atoms in the observable universe is 1080. So, if a simple protein has that unlikely chance of forming, what hope does a complete bacterium have?

>>If this were the theory of abiogeneisis, and if it relied entirely on random chance, then yes, it would be impossible for life to form in this way. However, this is not the case.

>>In fact, if we assume the volume of the oceans were 1024 liters, and the amino acid concentration was 10-6M (which is actually very dilute), then almost 1031 self-replicating peptides would form in under a year, let alone millions of years. So, even given the difficult chances of 1 in 1040, the first stages of abiogenesis could have started very quickly indeed.
